Farmers’ Seoul rally against Park technically falls through

November 25, 2016

SEOUL, Nov. 25 (Yonhap) — The planned farmers’ rally has technically fallen through despite court approval, as some of the protesters were confronted by the police for bringing tractors and other items that were banned from being used in the protest, the government said on Friday.

The police said some members of the Korean Peasants League, the nation’s largest farmers group, were found to be carrying tractors in their trucks, in violation of the court’s ruling about their staging of a protest against President Park Geun-hye in Seoul.

“We’ve found oil containers in some of the farmers’ trucks, which we see as dangerous items,” a police official said, assuming that farmers carrying tractors to Seoul are related to the protest.

As a result, the farmers’ rally in Seoul, originally scheduled to begin at 5 p.m., did not happen.

The failure came after the Seoul Administrative Court ordered police to allow the farmers group to rally in the capital Friday and Saturday, citing their freedom of assembly.

But it disallowed them from parking or driving the tractors within their reported areas of assembly due to traffic concerns.

Police had banned the rally because the farmers reported that they will drive hundreds of trucks and even several tractors into the city center, then get out and join the march through the streets near the main government building and toward the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae.

The members of the association departed from different parts of the country aboard trucks and slow-moving farm vehicles for a national farmers’ rally scheduled to start at 5 p.m. on Friday, with plans to join the anti-Park protest on Saturday.

On Friday afternoon, activist farmers confronted police in Pyeongtaek, 70 kilometers south of Seoul, as the authorities blocked their vehicles from entering the capital city, citing the court ruling.

“Police are blocking one of the streets with their buses,” Lee Jong-hyuk, an official at the association, told Yonhap News Agency. “Our primary goal as of now is to enter the capital city.”

Police also banned organizers of Saturday’s rally from marching near the presidential office, citing traffic and security concerns.

Later on Friday, the same court allowed the fifth candlelight rally to march up to 200 meters from Cheong Wa Dae, closer than previous weeks. Prior to the Friday ruling, the rally was required to stay at least 400 meters away from the presidential office.

However, the court has limited the rally hours. According to the ruling, the legal hours for marching are from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and for demonstrating from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., as the court estimates sunset to take place at around 5:15 p.m. In the protesters’ original filing, they requested the anti-Park demonstration to last until midnight.

Park has been under growing pressure to step down following revelations that her longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil exercised enormous influence over her and her handling of state affairs while amassing ill-gotten wealth.

The members of the Korean Peasants League, or Jeonnong, confront police in Pyeongtaek, some 70 kilometers south of Seoul, on Nov. 25, 2016, as the law enforcement authorities banned them from entering the capital city. The farmers' association planned to hold a rally in central Seoul later in the day.
